In some examples, a semiconductor package comprises a semiconductor die; a conductive member coupled to the semiconductor die; and a wirebonded protrusion coupled to the conductive member. A physical structure of the wirebonded protrusion is determined at least in part by a sequence of movements of a wirebonding capillary used to form the wirebonded protrusion, the wirebonded protrusion including a ball bond and a bond wire, and the bond wire having a proximal end coupled to the ball bond. The bond wire has a distal end. The package also comprises a mold compound covering the semiconductor die, the conductive member, and the wirebonded protrusion. The distal end is in a common vertical plane with the ball bond and is not connected to a structure other than the mold compound.

An encapsulation of laser direct structuring (LDS) material is molded onto first and second semiconductor dice. A die-to-die coupling formation between the first and second semiconductor dice includes die vias extending through the LDS material to reach the first and second semiconductor dice and a die-to-die line extending at a surface of the encapsulation between the die vias. After laser activating and structuring selected locations of the surface of the encapsulation for the die vias and die-to-die line, the locations are placed into contact with an electrode that provides an electrically conductive path. Metal material is electrolytically grown onto the locations of the encapsulation by exposure to an electrolyte carrying metal cations. The metal cations are reduced to metal material via a current flowing through the electrically conductive path provided via the electrode. The electrode is then disengaged from contact with the locations having metal material electrolytically grown thereon.
